Brand New Morrisons Store Opens in Whitefield!

15 September 2008

The brand new Morrison's store in Whitefield, brought forward by Dransfield Properties, has opened to shoppers this week.

 It was offically opened by Sir Ken Morrison as well as the mayor of Bury and the MP Ivan Lewis.

 The fantastic new store employs 300 people, most of them from Whitefield and Bury and has been built on a six acre site on Stanley Road in Whitefield.

The site also houses the popular cafe Roma which was rebuilt at the side of the store while redeveloping the new site.

Whitefield's new store also includes local art work reflecting the history of the local area.

Mark Dransfield, Managing Director of Dransfield Properties Ltd, attended the new store opening.

He said: "A great deal of work has gone into getting this development to this stage and it is great to see all the shoppers using the store. We knew from very early on in our public meetings and discussions that there was a great need in Whitefield for a store of this size and quality and we have had a lot of support and encouragement from the local community."
